St. Martin-by-Looe is a small, largely rural parish tucked inland from the fishing town of Looe on the south-east Cornwall coast. The landscape is a mix of rolling farmland, wooded combes and narrow lanes that lead down towards the River Looe and the nearby shoreline, with easy access to coastal walks such as the South West Coast Path.
Historically centred on a medieval parish church, the community has long-standing links with the maritime and fishing trades of Looe, while today agriculture and visitor accommodation figure alongside a small, locally focused population; village halls and occasional events keep social life active and attract walkers and holidaymakers seeking a quieter Cornish hinterland.
